Spanish Vegetarian Chickpea Stew | Possibly the BEST Plant-Based Stew
This Spanish Vegetarian Chickpea Stew, known as Potaje de Garbanzos a la Andaluza, is possibly the best plant-based stew ever. It’s packed with layers of flavors, super easy to make and all done in about 40 minutes. Serve it next to a crunchy baguette and a bottle of Spanish wine for an incredible meal.
To make this dish, I used canned chickpeas, aka garbanzo beans. Just to make things easier and quicker. Of course, you can also use dried chickpeas. Just soak them in plenty of water overnight and then simmer the following day for 1 to 2 hours or until tender.
To thicken the stew, I used a combination of blanched almonds, garlic and parsley. I used a mortar & pestle to create the paste. If you don’t have one. You can also use a food processor, handheld blender or even a nutri-bullet.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: This stew will hold for up to 3 to 4 days in the fridge and up to 3 months in the freezer. When reheating, just add in some broth or water to bring the stew back to life.

Hi😁
Can sherry vinegar be replaced with white wine vinegar?
Thanks
Yes! Much love 🙂
Just moved to Valencia so working on learning some Spanish recipes to make at home. This was the first one I tried and it was great! Looking forward to trying lots more!
Happy to hear that! Valencia is a beautiful place 🙂 Much love
The stew tastes great. I had to use slivered blanched almonds. Is that fine?
Absolutely! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂 Much love
Fabulous recipe. I used dried chickpeas, which I prefer although it increases the prep time. Although I’ve made chickpea stews, none have ever been as good as this. Combining garlic with almonds and then mashing them in a mortar and pestle is oh-so-redolent of Spain, and oh-so-delicious.
Likewise the use of cumin.
One question: why does the Nutrition Facts indicate 28% sodium?
Glad you liked the dish! The sodium comes from the broth and the salt used in the recipe, which you can alter to your liking 🙂 Much love
Thanks. Looking fwd to try it out.👍
Hope you enjoy! Much love 🙂
